Joshua 15:23

John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible · John Gill (1697–1771) · Public Domain

And Kedesh,.... The first of these cities seems to be Kadeshbarnea, which was to the south of the land, and on the borders of Edom, from whence the spies were sent, Nu 32:8;and Hazor is another city from that which is mentioned, Jos 11:1; and was in the tribe of Naphtali;and Ithnan, which Jerom calls Jedna, was, according to him, six miles from Eleutheropolis, as you go to Hebron; the Greek version joins this and the former city together, and makes them one.

De loc. Heb. fol. 92.
